CURTAlN-PU LL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 447,414, dated March 3, 1891.

Application filed January 13, 1890. Serial No. 336,765. (No model.)

To all whom if; may concern;V

Be it known that I, JOHN O. REMINGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hingham, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pulls5 and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specilication.

Thisinvention relates to curtain-pulls, so called; and it consists in the general arrangement of parts by which a novel, simple, and

artistic appearance is presented. The essential features of this curtain-pull are embodied primarily in the employment of two or more intersecting rings adapted to be united and contiguous at diametrical points, such points to be located in a line preferably coincident with the suspensory device or pendent cord taken lengthwise.

The drawings herewith annexed represent, in Figure l, a perspective View of a curtainpull with its suspending-cord and embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a curtainpull provided with a skirt, so termed. Fig. 3 is aplan, and Fig. 4 is an elevation, of a curtain-pull composed of three rings.

In the above drawings the curtain-pull, as an entirety, is shown at,A, composed of two rings a b, metallic or otherwise, and preferably covered with some fibrous twisted material, as yarn, worsted, or silk, to present a more finished appearance. Further, in Fig. l one ring b is a little smaller and placed within the other, intersecting it at right angles, or thereabout. The two are then joined together at points diametrically opposite. By preference such'points are located in avertical line, while the suspending device or pendent cord B is attached at the upper point of union of said rings. It is evident, however, that more than two rings may be employed to produce the same result, as shown in Figs. 8 and 4. In such instances three rings a b c 5o are used, and are arranged after the manner of meridian circles. Moreover, I have made them all of the same diameter, in which event they may be composed of semicircular pieces, which can besoldered or otherwise joined together at the two points of union, making the contour of the curtain-pull a perfect sphere.

In Fig. 2 I have shown a slight modification by securing to the bottom intersecting point of the rings twisted material to form a 6oskirt C. The substance composing the skirt is passed through and about the lower contiguous points of the rings, finally being secured by a iinishing-band of chenille d or other suitable material, placed below the rings, in order to produce a neat and tasty appearance. By my invention this arrangement of rings or skeleton sphere presents to the hand a support which is the equivalent of a solid ball; but with these advantages it is 7o very light, more easily wrapped or covered, while the expense in manufacture is very small.

What I claim isA l. A curtain-pull composed of two or more rings, covered or otherwise, contiguous at diametrically-opposite points, where they are united, and adapted to be combined with a suspending device, substantially as described.

2. A curtain-pull composed of two or more 8o rings arranged after the manner of meridian circles, combined with a suspensory cord at one point, where said rings intersect, the skirt pendent about said rings at an opposite point, and a fasteningband of chenille below said 8g rings, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN O. REMINGTON.'
